I took some of the padding out, and a lot just fell out, of my sons older goalie helmet to paint it and I am now looking for the best option to glue it back in. I have tried hot glue before and it works for awhile then it gets brittle and the padding just falls back out. Is there anything anybody else has used the seems to have worked any better?

Have you considered buying a new helmet? The goalie mask is the #1 piece of equipment that you should not skimp on. I would not trust and older goalie mask at any level of hockey. I got DESTROYED once in a very low level league by a 250+ lb guy who came into me at nearly full speed. It was a very awkward collision and I got folded up like an accordian against the post and felt like my neck was going to break (I'm not exaggerating). After the post gave way, my body snapped backwards and I kind of whiplashed the back of my head into the ice. If I wasn't wearing a quality helmet WITH quality padding in the helmet, I would have taken a vacation to concussion city. Still surprised I didn't. The goalie mask is the #1 investment you can make in yourself on the ice. Invest wisely.

Its more for Dek/Street Hockey than anything else he has a newer plain Eddie mask for ice hockey.
